Volunteer RIGHT here RIGHT now to HELP families in NEED!

Families statewide are facing their 3rd winter in a home that is not safe, sanitary, and secure. Home repairs are still needed for 122 families across the state. The interactive map shows locations of homes waiting to be repaired so you can pick a project or pick a location. We encourage you to find a project and register today to help!

Anyone interested in volunteering is urged to contact us at 405-802-0904 or email.

Volunteer teams of 3-20 are needed in the following two ways:

Self Sustained Team: If you have experienced team leaders, home repair skilled volunteers… then you can choose your project from our Project List. We will coordinate with you in purchasing the materials. Your team would assess the project and make a materials list, deliver materials, supply the tools, and find your own lodging.

Project Managed Team: We will set up your lodging and purchase materials. One of our project managers will make the materials delivery, provide tools needed and will also be onsite to provide project knowledge. This option is available only in certain areas of the state.

If you are interested in helping volunteer teams by serving as a Volunteer Site Coordinator who’s role is to visit work sites when volunteer teams are on location to help pick up and deliver materials to the work site, ensure teams have bottled water, and work in coordination with the Project Manager to meet any additional team needs please call 405-802-0904.

If you want to volunteer but don't have a team you are able to serve with please call 405-802-0904 or email to join an existing team.
